New hair
Posted on January 16, 2011 at 8:33pm 1 Comment 0 Favorites
Well I have new hair!! My sis helped me on Thurs bond my new lace wig to my head. It is so odd to look in the mirror and see me with hair....lots and lots of hair! So far so good, it is different to have something on when I go to sleep or workout, I have wore regular wigs off and on over the last 15 years, but this is the first bonded one. My kids and super pumped about me going swimming with them or down a waterslide....I can't wait. I have spent way too much time on the sidelines.
